INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

SPRAY DRIFT LABELINGThis product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind.This product has a potential for runoff for several months or more afterapplication. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tablesare more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. A level,well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which thisproduct is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams,and springs will reduce the potential for contamination of water fromrainfall-runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding ap-plications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. Sounderosion control practices will reduce this product's contribution tosurface water contamination. Avoiding spray drift at the applicationsite is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of manyequipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential forspray drift.Theapplicatorisresponsibleforconsideringallthese factorswhen making decisions.Thefollowing drift management requirementsmust be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial ap-plications to agricultural field crops.These requirements do not applyto ULV applications on grassland and non-crop areas, for the controlof grasshoppers and Mormon crickets.

The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.Where states have more stringent regulations, they should beobserved.The applicator should be familiar with and take into accountthe information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction AdvisoryInformation

Information on Droplet SizeThe most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets.The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest dropletsthat provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger dropletsreducesdriftpotential.but will not prevent drift if applicationsare madeimproperly,or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind,Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).Controlling Droplet SizeVolume- Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical sprayvolume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.

• Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacture's recommendedpressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces largerdroplets.When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow ratenozzles instead of increasing pressure.

• Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles thatprovide uniform coverage.

• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is releasedparallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other ori-entations and isthe recommended practice.Significant deflectionfrom the horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase driftpotential.

• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intendedapplication.With most nozzle types,narrower spray angles producelarger droplets.Consider using low-drift nozzles.Solid steam nozzlesoriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowestdrift.

Boom LengthFor some use patterns,reducing the effective boom length to less than3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift withoutreducing swath width.

Application HeightApplicationsshouldnotbemadeataheightgreaterthanlOfeetabovethe largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety.Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposureof droplets to evaporation and wind.Swath AdjustmentWhen applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will bedisplaced downwind.Therefore, on the up and downwind edges ofthe field, the applicator must compensate for the displacement byadjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distanceshould increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smallerdrops, etc.)

WindDrift potential is lowest between wind speed of 2-10 mph. However,many factorsjncluding droplet sizeandequipmenttypedeterminedriftpotential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential.NOTE:Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should befamiliar with local wind patterns and how they affect drift.

Temperature and HumidityWhen making applications in low relative humidity,set up equipmentto produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Dropletevaporation is most severe when conditions are hot and dry.

Temperature InversionsApplications should not occur during a temperature inversion becausedrift potential is high.Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing,which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentratedcloud.This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the lightvariable winds common during inversions.Temperature inversions arecharacterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are com-mon on nights with limited cloud cover light to no wind.They beginto form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Theirpresence can be indicated by ground fog; however,if fog is not present,inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from aground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers andmoves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions)indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upwards and rapidlydissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.

Sensitive AreasThe pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift toadjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, knownhabitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) isminimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).

INFORMATIONDIMILIN 2L is an insect growth regulator which is effective on a widevariety of insect pests, predominately from the families Lepidopteraand Diptera. Because of its mode of action, which results in a disrup-tion of the normal molting process of the insect larvae, the actionof DIMILIN is slow and several days may elapse before the full effectis seen. Because of its specificity, DIMILIN is an excellent product foruse in IPM programs.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT: When used as directed DIMILIN 2Lprovides control of a number of important insect pests as well as pro-viding a margin of safety to beneficial insects and pollinators. DIMILIN2L should be part of an IPM program that follows good managementpractices that include:

- Scouting regularly and use DIMILIN 2L against early immaturestages for best results

- Always follow the label rate and timing directions- Use chemical alternatives such as oil and preserve beneficial

arthropods as part of an IPM program- Maintain good coverage of all leaf surfaces with adequate water

volume- Alternate treatments to classes of insecticides with different

modes of action

RESTRICTIONSDo not apply this product to bodies of water where swimming islikely to occur.For Field Crops,RowCrops,OrchardUses,Grasslandand Non-CropAreas: Do not apply within 25 feet by ground or 150 feet by air of bod-ies of water such as lakesjeservoirs, rivers, permanent streams,naturalponds, marshes or estuaries. All applications must include a 25 footvegetative buffer strip within the buffer zone to decrease runoff.RESTRICTIONS ON ROTATIONAL CROPS: Do not plant food or feedcrops in DIMILIN treated soils within 1 month following last application,unless DIMILIN is authorized for use on these crops.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONSUSE AND MIXING DIRECTIONS IF USED WITH WATER:1. Fill tank with half of the required a mount of water.2. Begin agitation and add required amount of DIMILIN 2L3. Continue agitation while adding remainder of water.4. If permitted for the use site, add proper quantity of oil slowly.

To avoid formation of an invert emulsion, use at least 2 parts ofwater for each part of oil.

USE AND MIXING DIRECTIONS IF USED WITHOUT WATER:Always evaluate any potential mixture for compatibility and sprayabil-ity.To ensure thorough mixing of DIMILIN 2L with insecticides or othercarriers, premix ingredients in a nurse tank prior to being transferredto aerial or ground ULV application equipment. If nurse tank is notavailable, or unable to simultaneously mix:1. Fill tank with the required amount of oil and/or oil based

insecticide.2. Begin agitation and add required amount of DIMILIN 2L.3. After the contents of the tank have been thoroughly agi

tated, a volume of carrier sufficient to fill the booms andpiping system should be drained and then added back tothe tank.

Aerial or ground application: Apply spray with aerial or groundequipment designed or modified to insure full uniform coverage of theentire plant. Adjust equipment to provide droplets with a diameter of150 to 220 microns. Provide agitation prior to, during, and after blend-ing and while applying.APPLICATION THROUGH IRRIGATION SYSTEMS - CHEMIGATIONDIMILIN 2L may be applied through properly equipped chemiga-tion systems for insect control in grassland and row crops. Applythis product only through sprinkler (including center pivot, lateralmove, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or handmove) irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through anyother type of irrigation system.Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in thecrop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water.In order to calibrate the irrigation system and injector to apply themixture, determine the following: 1) Calculate the number of acresirrigated by the system; 2) Set the irrigation rate and determine thenumber of minutes for the system to cover the intended treatmentarea; 3) Calculate the total gallons of the mixture needed to coverthe desired acreage. Divide the total gallons of mixture needed bythe number of minutes to cover the treated area. This value equalsthe gallons per minute that the injector must deliver. Convert thegallons per minute to ounces per minute.Calibrate the injector pumpwith the system in operation at the desired irrigation rate. It is sug-gested that the injector pump be calibrated at least twice beforeoperation, and the system be monitored during operation.If you have questions about calibration, contact State ExtensionService specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts.Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems)used for pesticide application to a public water system unless thepesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systemsare in place.A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsiblefor its operation or under the supervision of the responsible person,shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments shouldthe need arise.CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMSIf the chemigation system is connected to a public water supply,the following conditions must also be met:• Public water systems means a system for the provision to the

public of piped water for human consumption if such system hasat least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average ofat least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.

• Chemigation systems connected to public water systems mustcontain a functional reduced-pressure zone, backflow preventer(RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstreamfrom a point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ,the water from the public water system should be dischargedinto a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shallbe a complete physical break (air gap) between the flow outletend of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoirtank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normallyclosed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of theinjection pump and connected to the system interlock to preventfluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the ir-rigation system is either automatically or manually shutdown.

• The system must contain functional interlocking controls toautomatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when thewater pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no waterpump, when the water pressure decreases to the point wherepesticide distribution is adversely affected.

• Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displace-ment injection pump (e.g.,diaphragm pump) effectively designedand constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticidesand capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, auto-matic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid backtoward the injection.Upon completion of insecticide application, remove scale, pes-ticide residues, and other foreign matter from the supply tankand entire injector system. Flush thoroughly with clean water.Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the areaintended for treatament.

SPRINKLER CHEMIGATIONFor continuously moving systems, the mixture containing DIMILIN2L must be injected continuously and uniformly into the irrigationwater line as the sprinkler is moving. If continuously moving irriga-tion equipment is used, apply in no more than 0.25 inch of water.For sprinkler systems that do not move during operation, apply inno more than 0.25 inch of irrigation immediately before the endof the irrigation cycle.

Maintain continuous agitation of the pesticide supply tank for theduration of the application period.

To apply a pesticide using sprinkler chemigation, the chemigationsystem must meet the following specifications:• The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief

valve,and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigationpipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, auto-matic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid backtoward the injection pump.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional,normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intakeside of the injection pump and connected to the system interlockto prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tankwhen the irrigation system is either automatically or manuallyshut down.

• The system must contain functional interlocking controls toautomatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when thewater pump motor stops.

• The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressureswitch, which will stop the water pump motor when the waterpressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution isadversely affected.

• Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displace-ment injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designedand constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticidesand capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

• Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the areaintended for treatment.

1-2 For best results, apply when the majority of infesting grasshoppers have reached the2nd to 3rd nymphal stage of development. DIMILIN 2L is not effective in controllinggrasshoppers once they reach the adult stage. If a large influx from neighboringfields should occur, the time to reduce that population may not be short enoughto minimize extensive foliage feeding; a tank mix with a knockdown insecticide isrecommended under these conditions.

For early infestations on young cotton, apply DIMILIN 2L at the first sign of beet army-worm activity (2 egg masses or hatch outs/100 feet of row) in multiple applications,either as directed or broadcast spray. Use on a 5 to 7 day interval until 8 fl oz per acrehave been applied. Multiple applications of DIMILIN 2L will provide acceptable beetarmyworm control and because it has little activity on beneficial insects (parasites andpredators) and has good persistence, will help prevent populations of beet armywormfrom building up later in the growing season. Use of DIMILIN 2L in this way allows formore complete coverage of new foliage during the period of rapid vegetative growth.

Apply starting around first bloom and through mid-bloom. Repeat application untilup to 8 fl oz per acre have been applied, using a 5 to 7 day interval between applica-tions. Use higher application rate on larger cotton and/or under conditions of greaterlarval pressure. Apply first application should coincide with peak beet armyworm mothcatches in pheromone traps, indicating another generation of larvae is imminent. DI-MILIN 2L is more effective on early stages of larval development, therefore treat cottonleaves should be treated before populations become established.

Apply after mid-bloom and prior to 14 days before harvest. Use higher application rateon larger cotton and/or under conditions of greater larval pressure.Coincide application with peak beet armyworm moth catches in pheromone traps.Additional applications may be needed if larval pressure continues.

Apply during early stages of larval development. Repeat application until at least 8 floz per acre have been applied using a 5 to 7 day interval.

DIMILIN 2L will control boll weevil by suppressing reproduction. Apply with 2 to 4 qtof emulsified cottonseed oil, vegetable oil, or paraffinic crop oil. For ULV application,use 4 fl oz in a minimum of 8 fl oz of emulsified cottonseed oil, oil based insecticide,or vegetable or petroleum based oil carrier. A compatibility agent may be needed if anon-emulsified cotton-seed oil is used.Consult your supplier or Chemtura representa-tive for oil specifications. For best suppression of boll weevil reproduction, make firstapplication at pinhead square stage of cotton growth when overwintering boll weevilsare entering the fields. Repeat applications must allow a minimum of 7 days betweenapplications.DIMILIN 2L does not kill the adult boll weevil, however, eggs deposited by affectedfemale weevils will not hatch, thus limiting reproduction.The control of egg hatchand larval development within the square prevents its shedding and will then allownormal boll development. After the initial treatment of the female weevil,7to lOdaysare required before non-hatching eggs are laid; however, once affected, non-hatchingeggs will be laid for approximately 10 days, and longer if the female encounters moreDIMILIN 2LThus treat early and use multiple applications.

DIMILIN 2L will reduce the number of weevils that emerge in the following spring ifapplications are made when adult weevils are going into diapuase to overwinter. Ap-ply when cotton plant has reached full vegetative growth or when it begins bloom-ing out the top.For LV application spray in combination with 2 to 4 qt of an emulsifiable vegetable orparaffinic oil per acre. For ULV application combine in a minimum of 8 oz of emulsi-fied cottonseed oil, oil based insecticide, or vegetable or petroleum based oil carrier.A compatibility agent may be needed if a non-emulsified cottonseed oil is used.Apply at least 2, but not more than 3, applications at 7 to 14 day intervals should bemade.

Application Timimg

Apply when the majority of infesting grasshoppers have reached the 2nd to 3rdnymphal stage of development. DIMILIN 2L is not effective in controlling grasshop-pers once they reach the adult stage. If a large influx from neighboring fields shouldoccur, the time to reduce that population may not be short enough to minimizeextensive foliage feeding; a tank mix with a knockdown insecticide is recommendedunder these conditions.

Aerial application: Apply in 3 to 5 gallons total volume per acre. For ULV application, use a total volume of 20 to 48 oz per acre.Ground application: Apply in 1 0 to 20 gallons of total volume per acre. For ULV application, use a total of 20 to 64 oz per acre.Adjuvant usage: Always use oil (1 to 2 qt) with DIMILIN 2L for larval/nymphal control if conditions are favorable for water evapora-tion (e.g. high air temperature and/or low hum dity). For ground or aerial LV application, 1 pt to 2 qt of emulsified vegetable or paraf-finic crop oil is recommended to enhance canopy penetration and to reduce spray droplet evaporation and subsequent drift. For ULVapplication, use DIMILIN 2L in a minimum of 20 oz of emulsified cottonseed, vegetable or petroleum based oil carrier. A compatibilityagent may be needed if non-emulsified cottonseed oil is used.Consult your supplier or Chemtura representative for oil specifications.Use sufficient application volume to assure adequate coverage. DIMILIN 2L may be mixed with other insecticides being applied forother cotton insects. When emulsifiable concentrate insecticide formulations are used with oil and DIMILIN 2L in tank mixes, theymay result in phytotoxicity.Care must be taken where such mixture is used. Because of the unique mode of action of DIMILIN 2L, itsvisible effects on larvae/nymphs may not be seen for 5 to 7 days following application.

GRASSLAND RESTRICTIONS: Do not exceed a total of 2 fl oz per acre per cutting. Do not exceed a total of 6 fl. oz. per acre per year. Allowat least 1 day after treatment before cutting grass. Apply only when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas,bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away fromthe sensitive areas).

Use 1 application on early instar (majority in the 2nd through 4th instar nymphal stages); usehigh rate for pastureland.

Use on rangeland only, in a RAATs (Reduced Area and Agent Treatment) application onearly instars. A RAATs application is an IPM strategy that takes advantage of grasshop-per movement and conservation biological .control to allow DIMILIN 2L to be appliedon rangeland on a reduced treated area and at reduced rates, while sustaining accept-able control. RAATs may provide ranchers with an economic means to reduce competi-tion by these insects on their rangeland, depending on insect age and plant canopy.Using this program DIMILIN 2L may be applied on as little as 50% of the infested acreage (e.g.skippinga 1 00 ft swath for every TOO ft treated), up to 100% infested acreage.The rate range to use per acre and amount of area treated will depend on grasshopper/Mor-mon cricket age, plant canopy and topography. Skip up to 50% of the infested area and usethe lower rate under uniform topography with early instar ages and sparse vegetation. If themajority of the population is late instars, vegetation is dense, terrain is considered rough,andconditions are hot during treatment, increase the coverage and rate of DIMILIN 2L up to ablanket (100%) coverage with 1 fl oz per acre.

If a second application is made, typically apply 2 to 3 weeks after the first application.

For maximum control use DIMILIN 2L at first sign of hatch outs and prior to larvae reachingfourth instars (<1/2 inch). DIMILIN 2L must be ingested and larvae must molt before popula-tions a re reduced.

Apply Dimilin 2L for the control of Horn fly and face fly emergence from cattle manure pattiesfor two weeks or longer.

Aerial application: For low/high volume application, apply in 2 to 10 gallons of water per acre. For rangeland ULV application,apply inaminimumof12fl. ozs. total volume per acre.Ground application: For low/high volume appl cation, apply in 2 to 30 gallons of water per acre. For rangeland ULV application,apply in a minimum of 1 2 fl . ozs. total volume per acre.Regardless of application type, total spray volume used must ensure thorough coverage of the target crop. For aerial and ULV spray mix-tures include an evaporation/drift retardant product at use rates prescribed on the specific product label, particularly when conditions arefavorable for waterevaporation(e.g.,highairtemperatureand/or low humidity).When using oil type evapo ration/drift retardant products,be sure to maintain a ratio of at least 2 parts water to 1 part oil. For low volume and ULV applications, make sure that the spray mixturein the boom contains the correct concentration of Dimilin 2L before application begins, and be sure that good agitation is maintainedthroughout mixing and application.Higher rates and gallonages are suggested for areas with dense vegetation, when nymphs are beyond the 3rd instar stage, and whenclimatic conditions are favorable for grasshopper/Mormon cricket survival and increase.Apply anytime after eggs begin to hatch through early instars. DIMILIN 2L remains active on the foliage and will continue to controllarvae and grasshoppers/Mormon crickets that hatch later in the season. DIMILlN 2L is not effective in controlling larvae and grasshop-pers/Mormon crickets once they have reached the adult stage. Since it is an insect growth regulator, effects may not be seen until theseinsects have molted at least once. If adult grasshoppers/Mormon crickets from early hatching and/or overwintering species are present,tank-mix DIMILIN 2L with a registered adulticide to control later hatching species.Check mixing compatib 1 ty and sprayability prior to transferring to the main spray tank.Besides a fatal incomplete molting, adult grasshoppers/Mormon crickets may exhibit missing posterior legs, hernias,abdominal segmentsmalformed, twisted antennae, hemolymph exudation, and wrinkled wings. Additionally, they may move slower, have limited jumps andunsteady landings, show a reduction in feeding, have atrophy of posterior legs or be unable to fl y. Any nymph/adult possessing thesesymptoms is likely more susceptible to predatory insects, birds and mammals.

Spot Treatments: Apply as a directed spray at a volume of 1 quart of spraysolution to 10 sq.ft. of surface area. 100 gallons of spray solution will treat4000 sq.ft.

Begin applications when flies first appear. Reapply as needed when adultfly numbers begin to increase, typically at 2- 3 week intervals.

Livestock /poultry operations includes farms, farm buildings, barns, feedlots, dairies, equine facilities, poultry houses, andother production facilities. Application sites within these operations also include fence lines of holding pens, feed troughs,feed bunks, hay bale feeders, water troughs; and marginal areas of waste retention ponds.

For insect control around hay feeding sites, treat the entire area where manure and waste hay are mixed at the soil surfaceby livestock activity.

DIMILIN 21 will not control adult or pupal stages, but does provide extended control of eggs and developing larvae.Exposure to adults, however, through contact or ingestion, does impact their reproductive potential, resulting in reducednumbers and viability of eggs. If a large adult population already exists at the time treatment is to be made, application witha knockdown insecticide either alone or in a tank mix with DIMILIN 2L may be desirable to achieve rapid reduction of thatpopulation.

Apply in 80 to 400 gallons of water per acre during the delayed dormant to thepopcorn stage period.Complete uniform coverage of the tree is essential to achieve insect control.A horticultural mineral oil should be used at a rate of 4 to 6 gallons per acreduring the delayed dormant period. After this period and through the popcornstage, apply oil at a concentration of 0.25%, but use no more than 1 gallon peracre. A surfactant may be used to improve coverage. Follow manufacturer'slabel specifications. DIMILIN 2L should be applied during egg deposition so thatit will come in contact with pear psylla eggs and/or 1 st and 2nd instar nymphs.

Applications at normal codling moth rates and timings will provide suppressionof pear psylla.

Apply in 80 to 400 gallons of water per acre from delayed dormant to the popcornstage. See 'Pear psylla (pre-bloom)' for the use of oil.

Apply in a minimum of 80 gallons of water per acre. Use the lower rate wherethere is light codling moth pressure and/or on small trees. Complete coverageof the fruit and foliage in all areas of the trees is essential for insect control.Tim-ing of application is extremely important because DIMILIN 2L controls codlingmoth by prohibiting the hatching of eggs. It must be applied prior to egg layingso that eggs are laid on treated plant parts.Apply first application as soon as possible after first moths are caught (biofix) orobserved, or about 50-75 degree-days after biofix.This timing can be deter-mined by your local pest control consultant and/or fruit specialist with the aidof pheromone traps. Normally this timing occurs at late petal fall or about 10-14days earlier than the timing used for organophosphate insecticides.Apply second application about 14-18 days after the first.If necessary, apply third and fourth application, timed prior to egg laying of the2nd generation by using the same method as for the 1st generation. If trapsare not used, make the 3rd application 21 -30 days after the second, followed bythe 4th application 21-30 days later. If a degree-day model is used the 3rd sprayshould be timed at 1000 degree-days after biofix.Combination with organophosphates for codling moth control: DIMILIN 2Lcan be used in combination with an organophosphate insecticide, to save atrip through the orchard and to make timing of the DIMILIN 2L sprays easier.The combination is more effective than DIMILIN 2L alone when controllingmoderate to heavy codling moth infestations and/or treating large trees. Thecombination will provide residual control of eggs laid after application. ApplyDIMILIN 2L and the organophosphates at their labeled rates. Apply at the begin-ning of egg hatch of 1st generation codling moth.This is the normal timing forthe first organophosphate cover spray (250 degree-days following biofix for 1 stgeneration and 1250 degree days for the 2nd generation).This program can berepeated for the 2nd or 3rd generation of codling moth or use DIMILIN 2L aloneprior to egg laying. Do not use oil in tank mix with DIMILIN 2L in late seasontreatments.With light codling moth populations, as indicated by monitoring, this combina-t on may offer control of an entire generation with 1 application. When popula-tions are heavy, this combination will improve control, but it may not controlan entire generation with one spray. A second spray of DIMILIN 2L alone or incombination may be applied 14-1 8 days later.

Apply in a minimum of 80 gallons of water just prior or during egg laying tocontrol eggs and larvae. Timing for control of the 1 st or 2nd generation can bedetermined by your local pest control consultant or fruit specialist. Should latergenerations of leafminers occur, apply DIMILIN 2L in the same manner.It is desirable to have DIMILIN 2L in place at the time of egg laying. It will con-tinue to give control through the early sap feeding stage. Complete coverageof the foliage is essential to achieve control of the larvae through the early sapfeeding stage.

Oil may cause injury to certain pear varieties.Check compatibility of oil mixtures with your local tree fruit specialist.

Make a single application of DIMILIN 2L per acre per year to control larvae when adultinfestations reach economic threshold and/or at initial oviposition, usually within a timeframe of 2-5 days after permanent flood establishment. If adult weevil infestations arehistorically high and/or migration into the field is prolonged, use the higher applicationrate.

To control larvae, apply split applications. Apply 8 fl oz per acre after the permanentflood when adult infestations reach economic threshold and/or at initial oviposition,usually when rice leaves are exposed above the water surface.The 2nd 8 fl oz treatmentmust be made 5-7 days after the 1 st application. Failure to make the second applica-tion within the above timeframe could result in inadequate controlof rice water weevil larvae, especially if adult infestations are high and/or migration intothe field is prolonged.

To control larvae apply DIMILIN 2L once per year at initiation of oviposition by adults.During a typical year this coincides with 2 to 8 days after rice emergence above thewater.Target the application for 2 to 5 days after rice emergence abovethe water (2 to 4 leaf stage). Use 12 to 16 fl oz DIMILIN 2L if infestations have beenhistorically high.

Consult your local extension service for determination of economic threshold and/or determination of oviposition. Dimilin 2L doesnot appear to control adult weevils. It controls rice water weevil by preventing larval emergence from the egg. Eggs laid under thesurface of treated water are controlled. Additionally, adults feeding on treated plant surfaces do not lay viable eggs.Apply DIMILIN 2L by air using at least 5 gallons total volume per acre.Do not apply DIMILIN 2L if flooding is in progress. Activity will be reduced. Since DIMILIN 2L is water active, the entire field must betreated.For maximum activity of DIMILIN 2L do not disturb flood after a single application for at least 7 days. With split applications in waterseeded, pinpoint or continuous flood rice, flood must not be disturbed for a minimum of 4 days following the 1 st treatment and 7days following the 2nd application. Hold treated water at least 14 days to allow for dissipation of DIMILIN 2L.DIMILIN 2L is not phytotoxic to rice. DIMILIN 2L can be safely applied in combination with post permanent flood herbicides suchas FACET®, GRANDSTAND® and LONDAX®.

If a large influx from neighboring fields should occur,the time to reduce that population may not be short enough to minimize extensivefoliage feeding; a tank mix with a knockdown insecticide is recommended under theseconditions.

Aerial application: apply in sufficient water (3 to 5 gallons per acre) to achieve uniform coverage of foliage.Ground application: apply in 9 to 35 gallons of water per acre to give uniform coverage.Adjuvant usage: See Cotton Section.Since DIMILIN 2L is an insect growth regulator, larvae/nymphs must feed on it and then molt before populations are reduced.Thusinitial signs of control may not be seen unt 1 several days after treatment.Soybean yield enhancement: In the absence of significant insect pressure and under certain growing conditions, an increase insoybean seed yield has been demonstrated with DIMILIN 2L under field conditions on both determinate and indeterminate culti-vars. Application of 2 to 4 fl oz per acre to high yield potential soybean plants at the R3 to R3.5 growth stage period has been moreconsistent in increasing yields than applications at other reproductive stages of the soybean plant.This reproductive period repre-sents beginning pod growth (pod 3/16 inch long at one of the uppermost nodes on the main stem with a fully developed leaf) tojust prior to full pod elongation (pod 3/4 inch long at one of the 4 uppermost nodes on the main stem with a fully developed leaf).

DIMILIN 2L is most effective when applied prior to egg laying. DIMILIN 21 must be pres-ent on the surface upon which eggs are laid; therefore,full coverage spray is necessary.Apply first application when moth flights begin or when moths are found in pheromonetraps. Apply the 2nd application approximately 21 days after the 1 st application. Forcontrol of the 2nd brood, application should be timed prior to egg laying, similar to 1stbrood.Because of fluctuations in temperature, the emergence and moth flights of theover-wintering population may be extended over a long period of time. Under suchcircumstances, DIMILIN 2L should be tank mixed with an organophosphate insecticideat its lowest label rate. This tank mix should be applied at normal 1st organophosphatetiming. Later in the season, if egg laying has already occurred before application of DI-MILIN 2L, it is recommended that DIMILIN 2L be tank mixed with an organophosphateas previously described.

The lower rate may be used where filbert worm pressure is low and/or the trees aresmall.The higher rate is necessary when worm pressure is moderate to high and/or thetrees are large. Apply DIMILIN 2L 2 to 3 days after the 1 st moth is caught in pheromonedetection traps. Mating takes place within several days of emergence and egg layingbegins the next day. DIMILIN 2L must be applied prior to egg deposition on the treatedfoliage. Good uniform coverage of the tree is essential to achieve optimum control offilbert worm with DIMILIN 2LNormally DIMILIN 2L will give season long control. If moth pressure remains high, ad-ditional applications should be made.

Apply split applications of DIMILIN 2L at 4 to 8 fl. oz. per acre when hickory shuckwormmoth emergence begins or larval feeding is detected and then again two weeks laterfor maximum nut protection and hickory shuckworm control.Apply DIMILIN 2L starting at half-shell hardening. Make subsequent applications at 21-day intervals to shuck split, or while nuts are susceptible to hickory shuckworm underheavy infestations. Use the higher rate under higher pest infestations, low crop load,larger trees or heavy, dense foliage.

Dormant/delayed dormant: Apply DIMILIN 2L at the rate of 12 to 16 fl oz per acre with4 to 8 gallons per acre (1.5 to 2.0 gallons per 100 gallons in a dilute spray) narrowrange oil. Always use the higher rate of DIMILIN 2L in the rate range if the crop has ahistory of heavy infestations.Bloom: Apply DIMILIN 2L at the rate of 12 to 16 fl oz per acre starting at early bloom.Always use the higher rate of DIMILIN 2L in the rate range if the crop has a history ofheavy infestations.Spring flight ("May Spray"): Using pheromone traps to determine flight activity, applyDIMILIN 2L at the rate of 16 fl oz per acre at initial flight activity.Summer flight: Using pheromone traps to determine flight activity, apply DIMILIN 2L atthe rate of 16 fl oz per acre at initial flight activity.

Apply split applications of DIMILIN 2L at 4-8 fl. oz. per acre beginning at bud break andthen again two weeks later for maximum nut set and pecan nut case bearer control.Normal timing in southeastern US would be from mid-April for bud break and then twoweeks later (early May).Apply DIMILIN 2L in split applications at the initiation of each adult generation to targetegg hatch. Note for the 1 st generation this is approximately 8 to 15 days following thefirst prolonged moth catch (biofix which is defined as the date on which the total of5 moths are captured in 3 pheromone traps within a 7-day period). States may havea different recommendation for initiation of spraying; please consult authorities suchas county and university extension specialists on current recommendations. Use thehigher rate for longer residual control, higher pest infestations, low crop load, largertrees or heavy, dense foliage.

Use the higher rate if weevils are attacking fruit and for higher infestations.

Apply DIMILIN 2Lat thefirst sign of larval infestations. Usethe higher rate for longer residualcontrol, higher pest infestations, low crop load, larger trees or heavy, dense foliage.

Apply ground applications in sufficient water for thorough coverage, using at least 50 gallons per acre for small trees (10 feet tall)and at least 100 to 300 gallons per acre for larger trees. Using insufficient water for thorough coverage and/or using an unevenspray pattern across the canopy will likely result in less than desired efficacy. If 4 applications are used, application timing shouldcorrespond to dormant to pre-bud swell, at bloom to petal fall, at flowers/leaves/immature nut fruit formation and at hull split.
